Re: No more XP lag with Tamedos

[Michael Norman michael.norman@xxxxxxxx]

First, my apologies to the list for the below. Rather than assuming
everyone knew the operators, I should have noted that each line was
preceded by a BX and followed by _Q2;*;_. Henceforth I'll post full lines,
which, I think, is important for those new to the list. I too use the
archive as a manual-in-progress and it's important to maintain the
conventions.

2. With the last line you mean "[guillemet]EX[guillemet]," producing a
delta, yes?

I'll delete the LOGIN line, thanks.
ACTION: I added [guillemet]SV652,XyOS=WXP[guillemet];*; which produces a
delta, this in lieu of: JM 2.GetXyOSQ2;*; (NB: in my previous post I erred;
I had BX at the beginning of the string instead of JM.)
RESULTS: Both strings cause problems, depending on where in the startup
sequence you locate them: common to both, again depending on where they are
located, are -- program comes up with numlock on; program comes up in
window 2 and you have to AS to get to window 1 and the directory; you get a
highlighted "X" (one of the status indicators) appearing in the command box
-- second line of command area, after the window# indicator and the Path
statement -- X for "temporary file" which persists for the entire XyDos
session; various other small anomalies.
My experience with both strings is, the further down you locate them the
fewer anomalies. Here's my startup at the moment:

BX DEFAULT DR=C:\XY Q2 ;*;
BX LOAD C:\XY\SETTINGS.DFL Q2 FF ;*;
BX LOAD C:\XY\PERS.SPL Q2 ;*;
BX LOAD C:\XY\XY4.MNU+C:\XY\XY4.DLG Q2 ;*;
BX SETP 1 Q2 FF ;*;
BX LOAD C:\XY\XYWWWEB.U2 Q2 ;*;
BX LOAD C:\XY\XY4.KBD Q2 ;*;
BX DSORT F,E Q2 ;*;
BX DIR Q2 ;*;
BX Default SL=26 Q2 ;*;
BX ;*;
NR 
This startup yields only one anomaly -- the program comes up in window 2
(blank) and I have to manually AS to get Window 1 and the directory list.
If I make the last line: NR AS  then I do not manually have to switch
windows. I suspect TAME, or TAME in combo with SV652, is causing the
problem, not SV652 on its own. When I eliminate that line from startup, the
program still comes up in Window 2. I wonder if there is a TAME setting I'm
missing or if I forgot something in my XY setup.
